The Asu Tribe and Customs
Get PDFChandra Thapar, an Indian anthropologist, dedicated a portion of his career to the study of foreign cultures and how they relate to his native country. One in particular caught his specific attention due to its similarities in the reverence of a sacred animal, akin to how the cow is sacred to India. See below a short consolidation of his findings:
The tribe Dr. Thapar studied is called the Asu and is found on the North American continent north of the Tarahumara of Mexico
Letter from the Editor
Get PDFDear Reader,
Thank you for opening Osmosis Magazine. We are excited to bring you more accessible, intriguing stories in science and technology spanning the disciplines of chemistry, environmental science, and mathematics. In addition to this edition’s science articles, we are excited to introduce faculty interviews, which chronicle select faculty members’ journeys into science and some of their passions outside of it. Interactive components such as crossword puzzles and word searches are also included. Our goal as a magazine is to share the joy of science with the UR community in an accessible and entertaining fashion. We hope that you enjoy reading this Fall edition of Osmosis Magazine.
Happy reading, Andrew Watts Editor in Chief, Osmosis Science Magazin
A Small Price to Pay for Better Mental Health Crisis Care: Why States Should Be Funding the New 988 Hotline Through Phone Fees
Get PDFMental health care in the United States is uncoordinated, underresourced, and overall insufficient. Mental health crisis care is much the same, but with much higher stakes. The lack of a comprehensive mental health crisis care system across the country has led to law enforcement involvement becoming the default system in most communities. Yet, an overwhelming majority of Americans want a better way; in a survey conducted in summer 2023, “85% of people sa[id] they want a mental health response to someone experiencing a mental health, drug or suicide crisis, not a police response.”..
Guide to Virginia Legal Information Resources: Sources of Law, Research Guides, and Self-Help Books for Self-Represented Litigants, Second Edition
Get PDFSince our first iteration of the Guide to Virginia Legal Information Resources in March 2023, the Guide has been distributed far and wide. It has been made available on public library websites (for example it was featured as a bullet point on the website of the Bristol Public Library and uploaded to the website of the Waynesboro Public Library). It has been cataloged by academic libraries (for example, the University of Virginia Library has an entry in its online catalog) and has been included in LibGuides at academic law libraries (there is a link to the Guide in the Virginia Legal Materials LibGuide of George Mason University’s Antonin Scalia Law School and it is included in the A-Z list of databases at the University of Richmond School of Law). Librarians’ inclusion of the Guide in the resources that they make available shows that they find the Guide useful and that the Guide is having a positive impact.
The first edition of the Guide has provided the foundation for this second edition of the Guide. While there are now many iterations of the Guide available in various places (the Committee made multiple versions of the first edition to update several hyperlinks), the Committee notes that the official, current version of the Guide is available through the Virginia Judicial System’s website and the homepage of the Virginia Association of Law Libraries. Going forward, the Committee plans to issue a new edition of the Guide every two years. Links to sources in WorldCat.org and open access websites of state government and bar associations predominate throughout the Guide because the Access to Justice Committee seeks to highlight the valuable resources that libraries have and to promote authoritative legal information that is available free of charge. Moreover, Library Finder and the Virginia Public Library Directory provide the addresses of many libraries that are open to the public. While the purpose of the Guide is to help librarians select and recommend resources for their legal self-help collections and provide a listing of resources of interest for people who choose to represent themselves in court or are seeking legal information for other matters, this Guide does not constitute legal advice and is not a substitute for legal advice. Those who need legal advice should consult a licensed attorney in their jurisdiction. A nation-wide resource for obtaining legal advice is LawHelp.Org (users will be directed to choose their jurisdiction at the website). Virginia-specific resources for obtaining legal advice are the Virginia Lawyer Referral Service and the American Bar Association’s Free Legal Answers (Virginia)

Letter from the Editor
Get PDFDear reader,
As the Editor-in-chief, I get the honor of welcoming you to this semester \u27s issue of Osmosis. Welcome! For those of you who are not familiar with Osmosis, this is a student-run journal that publishes science stories: from water bears to synthetic neuron s to prehistoric skeletons. This semester, I was blown away with the talent and enthusiasm of our new and returning members. It was an honor to work with everyone, and I am excited to do it all over again next semester.
Thank you to everyone who contributed to the magazine this semester, especially to my executive team. And thanks to you, for reading this magazine and making all our hard work worth it.
Hope you enjoy our Osmosis Fall 2021 issue,
Caterina Erdas, Editor-In-Chief, \u272
